Broncos Host First Playoff Game in a Decade, Face Banged-up Bills in Divisional Round Saturday

The Broncos earned the AFC's top seed and a first-round bye while the Bills seek to extend a six-year streak of playoff wins, despite key injuries.

  • Saturday, 4:30 p.m. EST, the Denver Broncos will host the banged-up, sixth-seeded Buffalo Bills at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver's first home playoff game since 2015.
  • Buffalo's wild-card victory over the Jaguars sent the franchise to Denver for Saturday's matchup, marking their seventh straight playoff season, a franchise record.
  • Denver's pass rush led the league with 68 sacks, anchored by DL Zach Allen's 47 QB hits, and the Broncos were 8-1 at home with 13 wins in their past 14 home games.
  • With Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson sitting out these playoffs, Josh Allen's path to a title appears clearer, while Sean Payton pursues a milestone as the first coach to win Super Bowls with two franchises.
  • With multiple Bills listed as out or questionable, availability will shape Buffalo's game plan in Denver, as Jordan Poyer and Maxwell Hairston are ruled out while Gabe Davis and Tyrell Shavers remain on injured reserve.
